Oct 24 Volunteering - Trash to Cash

A quick glimpse behind the scenes whilst volunteering for the Guardians of the Himalayas and their Trash 2 Cash Program which we launched in Chhomrong, Nepal.

It was both an honour and a pleasure to take part Volunteering in such a great program. A simple yet effective means of turning plastic waste, among others things, into a valuable and sustainable resource.

Having met the team months back during concept stage in India I ran into them again by pure chance in Nepal! Offering my services for video, photo and design work.

Trekking the Annapurna range with haste, a newly formed team and a lot of gear was the most mentally, physically and technically challenging to date. But seeing the mountain communities come together, along with such a positive response from the international trekking community, made it all worth while.

Cleaning the planet from the top down, a simple idea with a global vision and what a great place to start. The Nepali people really have the biggest heart and will no doubt help to inspire other Asian nations.
